In prep school I became a close friend of Brian Meadows.  His mobility impairment was obvious.  Over time its cause became evident as he described a peculiar turn of mind shared by generations of privileged ancestors whose story reaches back well into 18th century France.
    This is a work of fiction.  Any resemblance to persons or situations other than those that are clearly general knowledge is pure coincidence.  The story is excerpted and adapted from my much longer novel "Buddies."  I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I have writing it.All Rights Reserved
